resonator and magnetostrictive magnetic layers. It is verified that its resonance Frequency changes in a magnetic field with sensitivity high enough to detect terrestrial magnetic field. So, it is useful as an electronic com pass that is in great dem and from the mobile telecommunication technology [ I] . The advantage of this sensor is that it can readily be downsized maintaining a high S/ N because it detects an external field through change of the resonance frequency rather than the analogue output as in the

MI or the flux gate sensors. (Yoshizawa, N. Shimada, Y. )
